Thanks MMM.

If got answers from two of my friends in Japan (One in Tokyo, one in Osaka) regarding the time needed for each places. I've putted comment about each places in the list. I would love to know your opinions as well about them.

*Tokyo*

She told me that the best thing to do would be to spend one day in each district to visit everything. Sadly, I don't have that time...

-Asakusa-
Kaminarimon
Nakamise Dori
Sensoji Temple
Shin-Nakamise Dori

She told me it was a must see, she didn't tell me how long to take though. Do you think I can visit both Asakusa and Ueno in the same day??? (Morning,Afternoon and Evening)

-Ueno-
Ueno Park
Ueno Zoo
Shitamashi Museum
Ameyoko

See above

-Akihabara-
Visit the District, suggestions?

Can take only an afternoon or a complete day depending on me.


-Tsukiji & Tsukishima- (Morning, 0.5 day)
Hamarikyu Garden
Just go visit and eat sushis for breakfast or dinner(possible?)

I think I sould be okay with the first half of the day.

-Tokyo-
Imperial Garden

Still don't have any info yet...

-Korakuen-
Koishikawa Korakuen

Still don't have any info yet...

-Shinjuku-
Metropolitan Government Office Building
Shinjuku Gyoen
Shinjuku Station Mail
Visit the district

See below

-Shibuya,Harajuku- (Harajuku on sunday)
Koen Dori
Yoyogi Park
Meji Shrine
Daiso Harajuku (100yen shop)
Oriental Bazaaz
Takeshita Dori

She told me that Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku, since there so close to each other, I should be able to make it in a day.(1 Day)

-Roppongi-
Tokyo Mori Midtown Tower

I'm thinking of deleting this one from the list, is there really a must see thing in Roppongi?


*Side Trips close to Tokyo*
-Motegi Twin Ring (Honda Museum), Motegi (Utsunomiya St. 90min N) (1 Day)
-Jiyugaoka & Shimokitazawa (Visit) (1 day)

-Yokohama- (1 day)
Minato Mirai
Sankein Garden
Chinatown

*Between Tokyo & Kyoto*

I want to take the day to visit Fuji Five Lakes but I'm including the time I'll be in the train

-Fuji Five Lakes- (Pictures & Onsen) (1 day)
Kawaguchiko Lake
Chureito Pagoda
Oshino Hakkai



*Kansai*


-Wakayama Perfecture-
Nachi Tashi
Garan
Kangobuji Temple

I'm thinking to delete the visit to this perfecture since it's far, what do you think? Is it worth to take the day to go or not?

-Hyogo Perfecture-
Himeji Castle
Kokoen Garden

Thinking to delete the visit since Himeji Castle will be in reparation

-Nara Perfecture- (1.5 day)
Todaji Temple
Isuen Garden
Yoshikien Garden
Horyuji Temple

Do you think I could visit Nara's attraction in one day?

-Osaka Perfecture-
Osaka Castle
Kaiyukan
Minami (Den Den Town)
Umeda Sky Building

Didn't have the information...

-Kyoto Perfecture- (3days)
Kiyomizudera Temple
Ginkakuji
Kinkakuji
Kyoto Station
Fushimi Inari Shrine
Daigoji Temple
Toji Temples
Tetsugaku no Michi
Imperial Palace/Sento Gosho
Nishikikoji Dori

I'm a bit suprised here since my friend told me I'll need 3 days to visit every sight in Kyoto, is he right or I can do everything faster?

-Side trips outside of Kansai-
Miyajima: Itsukushima Shrine (1day)
Okayama: Korakuen Garden & Okayama Castle (1 day)

Since I have only 14 days avalaible to visit Japan, I'm a worried I will not be able to visit everything.

Thanks again!
